"On Monday 14th January, Ussuri, a two year old male Amur tiger joined Zeya and Shilka, two eleven year old sisters, in their habitat located in the Fringes of the Arctic at Dublin Zoo.
...
Ussuri is a remarkable cat and visitors can’t help being mesmerized by him. He weighs about 250 kilos, to put his impressive size into context, his paws are about one and half times larger than that of an adult male."

180kg male bengal tiger at a shitty ass zoo, they were in stress, have diseases and were starved there, but the zoo shut down and the tiger is moved to a new zoo in south Africa.
The zoo is called the worst zoo in the world by animal rights activists. The tiger was rescued from a awfully small cage. Idk, the weight couldve been higher.
"The last to be loaded on the truck Tuesday night was the 180kg Tiger."

"A tiger broke out of a circus in central Paris and roamed streets just south of the Eiffel Tower before its circus handlers shot and killed it.
Nobody was hurt by the 200kg (31-stone) tiger, according to local reports.
Tram traffic was suspended in the area. Residents called the emergency services when they spotted the animal on the run just before 18:00 (17:00 GMT)."
""It was a very big tiger," a witness called Ralph told Le Parisien website. "We heard two or three shots and saw police going down towards the tracks.""

Always the same bullshits. Human failures and the animals pay with their life for that.

Tiger Attacks Keeper on Morning Walk at Australian Zoo
"While walking through surrounding bushland at the zoo, Ranu –- Australia Zoo's 12-year-old male Sumatran tiger –- became overly interested in his surroundings and when his handler approached him to change direction, he swatted his paw resulting in a scratch on his left wrist, bicep and right side of the forehead," the statement added.
The handler would be discharged from the hospital later Thursday and return to work "in the coming days", the zoo said.
According to the zoo's website, handlers dealing with 120-kilogram (264.5-pound) Ranu "have to keep in mind that he is the boss and it is very important to be patient with him".
